Maybe no perjury though? Statute of limitation passed? (Too bad I guess)

Oprah says she didn't pay him, and I believe her. Reports say he has about 100 million dollars, but people are sure lining up to sue him.
This confession came too late for it to help him in any way. He was pretty much found guilty already this year, and from what we know so far he really reeks of being sorry he was caught not for what he did.
I don't think any of the baseball players ruined a bunch of other people's lives along the way to the same extent that Armstrong did. So even with his confession, my opinion of him is at least a couple of notches below the baseball players.
It seems to me his motivation for coming clean was to try to move on in his life, since it didn't seem like people were going to leave him alone until he did. That and maybe trying to get reinstated for triathlons and such. Again acting in his own best interest.
